Bill Progress Update

Two bills on the list were passed (one held) out of committee today:
HB 95 1st Substitute - Document Fraud - Establishing Legal Status (Morgan, K.) was passed out to the House unanimously. The original Bill HB 95 had a "a civil penalty of up to $75,000 that was regrettably removed. The Substitute bill sets up a "creates a Document Fraud-Identity Theft Unit" with a funding of $275K.

HB0262 Recovery of Federal Reimbursement for Costs Associated with Illegal Immigrants was basically killed by the sponsor, Rep. Karen Morgan, as not necessary because other studies had been done studying the cost of illegal aliens. I'm not sure which study but CAIRCO has one.
